Abstract
A peridynamics-based framework is established for the elastic-plastic ductile fracture analysis. In this frame, a new state-based peridynamic elastic-plastic model is presented using the novel bond extension state forms of yield function and plastic flow rule. The nonlinear energy release rate is computed by the extended peridynamic finite crack extension (PFCE) method, and an energy dissipation rate-based bond failure criterion is proposed for ductile crack growth modeling. Numerical methods for plastic states update and yield function solution are also given. Then, examples of plates with a center hole or a center crack, and compact tension (CT) tests are analyzed by the proposed models, and compared to those from theoretical and FEM solutions. The results demonstrate that the proposed peridynamic models can well capture the characteristics of elastic-plastic deformation and ductile fracture, including the plastic shape and size, energy distributions, nonlinear energy release rate, load-displacement and resistance curves, etc.
